It’s a film the Dardenne brothers would be proud of. In Sweet Sixteen though, his vision is pure, and he has fashioned a near perfect, crystal-clear, achingly true portrait of a young man’s despairing attempts to better his life, but coming up against social obstructions both visible and invisible. Review: Just sometimes, the work of Ken Loach can feel a touch didactic, schematic and sentimental: understandable by products of his social conscience, political agenda and the sheer empathy he possesses for his characters. But his lifestyle comes with plenty of compromises… Building all his hopes on his mother’s forthcoming release from prison, Liam becomes a drug dealer to fund the better life he plans for his family. Synopsis: Liam (Martin Compston) is a delinquent teenager in a depressed part of Greenock on the River Clyde.
Actors: Martin Compston, William Ruane, Annmarie Fulton
